Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 287 The situation changes suddenly
"There are fewer and fewer Jiannu sentry cavalry."

Yang Menglong lay on the battlements, looking at the rear golden sentry cavalry galloping back and forth under the city, his eyes sparkled.

Qi Hu said: "It seems... Master Lu has already started a fight with Jian Nu!"

Yang Menglong agreed: "Well, there must be a fight, otherwise, Jiannu's sentry cavalry would not rush back."

Qi Hu was worried: "I'm really sweating for the Tianxiong Army!"

Yang Menglong said: "Don't worry, the Tianxiong army is not a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch. They are well equipped and have a large number of musketeers, so Jiannu can't afford to go around!"

No matter in the original history or now, the Tianxiong Army has never been a soft persimmon that is easy to pinch, but an extremely difficult brown candy. Therefore, the peasant army called Lu Xiang promoted to Lu Yanwang, and they hid when they saw him.Now what Jiannu ran into was the upgraded version of Lu Yanwang, Lu Mowang, and they were the ones who suffered.

Qi Hu looked at the sky and said with emotion: "Ten years ago, when Qi's army marched to Hunhe, the weather was also like this..."

Qi Polu said: "Grandpa, why don't we wait for the Sichuan army, fight out in Kaesong, join Master Lu, and kill Jiannu without leaving any behind!"

Qi Hu darkened his face and said: "You should be cautious about such important military and national affairs. What nonsense are you talking about?" Although Wuyang Guard was trained by him, it is Yang Menglong's army after all, and he has no direct command Quan, he was afraid that Qi Polu's mouth would be open, and Yang Menglong would be given the impression that he had been emptied, which would be very taboo.

But Yang Menglong's eyes were bright: "Old man, you can have this! Those bureaucrats are too slow. When they finish their research and transfer to the Sichuan army, the day lily will be cold. Why don't we..."

Qi Hu resolutely said: "My lord, absolutely not! The Tianxiong army sent troops without waiting for the Sichuan army to arrive, which has violated the taboo of military strategists. If the Wuyang guards did not wait for the Sichuan army to go out again, it would become a refueling tactic! Sichuan army, Wuyang The Wei and Tianxiong armies are one of the few elite troops in the Ming Dynasty, if they fill in one by one, they will only be defeated by Jiannu!"

Yang Menglong said angrily: "I am very impatient to wait..."

At this time, Zhong Ning ran over out of breath, saw Yang Menglong, bowed his hands and saluted, and called: "My lord, Mr. Shufu, please go over and say that I have something important to discuss!"

Yang Menglong was stunned: "Master Shufu is looking for me? What do you want me for?"

Zhong Ning said, "People are coming from the capital!"

Yang Menglong slammed his fist on the battlement and shouted: "Fuck, it's finally here!" He rushed towards the Jinglue Mansion excitedly, and before Sun Chengzong could react, he had already run until there was only a trail of smoke left up.

In the Jinglue Mansion, Sun Chengzong, Qiu Hejia, Zhang Chun, and a group of dignitaries from the Guanning Army looked sullenly at a senior officer wearing a red and purple official uniform with a Shangfang sword hanging from his waist, and his eyes almost burst into flames. Come.The official dodged those sharp sword-like gazes, with a rather helpless expression, and the atmosphere was as embarrassing as it could be.

Sun Chengzong's voice was full of helplessness and exhaustion: "Is it really irreparable?"

The official said: "The emperor has made up his mind and it cannot be changed... In fact, the emperor is also in a state of desperation. Why do you need to make the emperor worry about it?"

Qiu Hejia said unwillingly: "This battle has been fought for two or three months. Jinzhou has sent reinforcements several times, and countless soldiers have been lost. More than [-] people died in the battle of Changshan. We have paid such a heavy price. It is hard to see this battle. There is a glimmer of hope, if you give up, the tens of thousands of soldiers will die in vain!"

The official said: "The emperor has no choice. The Denglai rebellion has become more and more intense. The Shandong soldiers are weak and vulnerable. Kong Youde's rebellion is almost unstoppable! Beizhili is the heart of the Ming Dynasty. To put down the Denglai rebellion, It’s more important than the war outside the Pass!”

Zhang Chun sighed, stood up with some difficulty, and walked out with difficulty.A gust of wind rushed over, and he was almost knocked out, so he didn't need to ask, he just needed to hear the hurried footsteps, and he knew who was coming.Yang Menglong quickly supported Zhang Chun, and apologized repeatedly: "Master Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I walked in a hurry and almost bumped into you. Are you okay?"

Zhang Chun shook his head, expressing that he was fine, gently pushed Yang Menglong away, and walked out slowly.Seeing that his expression was almost desperate, Yang Menglong's heart tightened for no reason, but he didn't think about it too much. He walked into the meeting hall in two steps, and saluted Sun Chengzong: "See Master Shufu!"

Sun Chengzong said: "Commander Yang is here? Please get up quickly." He asked the servant to move a chair for Yang Menglong to sit next to him, and said to the official: "Master Xiong, this is Commander Wuyangwei The envoy, Yang Menglong, Lord Yang, once led some guards to defend Dingxing City, withstood the siege of Jiannu for several days, and in the final attack, he cooperated with Lu Jian and wiped out the three Niulu of Jiannu."

The official surnamed Xiong looked at Yang Menglong and said: "The headquarters has also heard about this matter, and the emperor was very happy, and named him a thousand households in Wuyang..."

Yang Menglong corrected: "Wrong, it is the commander of Wuyang Guard! I have been the commander of Wuyang Guard from the beginning!"

Sun Chengzong said: "Commander Yang, this is Lord Xiong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, don't be rude!"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War? Surnamed Xiong?" Yang Menglong's brain turned quickly, trying to search for relevant information, but it was blank, and he didn't even know who this Xiong Shangshu was.You can't blame him for this. Chongzhen only lasted 16 years and had fifteen war ministers. It was like a revolving door. Who remembered to come here?In fact, the Minister of the Ministry of War in front of him was called Xiong Mingyu. After Liang Tingdong stepped down, he succeeded the Minister of the Ministry of War and started his tragic career——Yes, at the end of Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of War was definitely the most tragic There is no official position, and those who sit in this position will either be killed or commit suicide, and those who do not commit suicide will be exiled to the army.Whether it was to be polite or to sympathize with others, he bowed his hands and saluted: "Your Majesty, please see your Majesty!"

When Xiong Ming met this kid, he just cupped his hands casually, he didn't kneel down and kowtow three times and nine times, his complexion suddenly became gloomy.In the Ming Dynasty, the nobles and the inferiors of the military were almost insane. A small civil servant of the sixth or seventh rank dared to make things difficult for the generals of the third rank or even the second rank, and the generals had to bow their heads to them, let alone the Minister of the Ministry of War. Squeezing a soldier to death is like playing for fun, how dare a small guard commander not kneel down to himself?What a big dog!

But Yang Menglong didn't know that he had offended this great Buddha. After paying his respects, he asked Sun Chengzong: "Lord Shufu, why did you call me here? Is there any news from the imperial court?"

Sun Chengzong said solemnly: "Yes! The Holy Lord ordered that a rebellion broke out in the important town of Denglai, Shandong, and there were few soldiers available in Beizhili. Therefore, he ordered the Tianxiong Army and Wuyang Guard outside the pass to immediately go south to put down the rebellion!"

Before old man Sun could finish speaking, Yang Menglong jumped up and called, "Go south immediately? The main forces of Tianxiong Army and Guanning Army have already sent reinforcements to Dalinghe City three days ago, and they are now fighting fiercely with Jiannu. What is the difference between the army going south and drawing salary from the bottom of the pot!"

Xiong Mingyu said with a gloomy face: "How can you, a small commander, interrupt such an important matter!"

Yang Menglong did not show any weakness: "Although I am just a small commander, I also know that it is a long distance from Jinzhou to Shandong. Even if it is a cavalry, it will take more than a month to arrive. There is no way to quickly put down the Denglai rebellion. However, if the Sichuan army is dispatched from Shanhaiguan during this month, the situation in Dalinghe City can be completely reversed!" He looked directly at Xiong Mingyu and emphasized his tone: "The Denglai rebellion, no matter how chaotic it is, can't be overthrown." How big the waves are, when the siege of the Daling River is resolved, the Guanning Army, Tianxiong Army, and Sichuan Army, whichever one they choose to go there, will be able to crush them like ants! The result of everyone trying to keep it is You can't keep it anywhere!"

Xiong Mingyu became more and more annoyed, and sneered: "Hey, this little Jinzhou City is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. A commander as big as a sesame seed has such insight, admiration, admiration!" But the meaning of ridicule can be heard three kilometers away.

Qiu Hejia said sincerely: "Master Xiong, although Commander Yang is a low-key man, he does have real knowledge and insights! At present, the front of the Jiannu army has been blunted, but the morale of the Tianxiong and Wuyang flying armies is high, and they are known for their fierceness and tenacity. The Sichuan Army and the Guan Ning Army who fought their last battle may not be able to save the defeat, so I think it is inappropriate to admit defeat and mobilize troops to enter the pass!"

Xiong Mingyu sneered again and again, looked around the crowd, and said: "You keep saying that Jiannu is vulnerable, and Guan Ning's army has repeatedly reported victories claiming to have killed tens of thousands of enemies, but they can't come up with a decent victory. Master Qiu, if it is true As you said, the Jiannu soldiers are already blunt, and our army can smash them with a single blow. Annihilation, what should I do?"

Sun Chengzong said slowly: "The emperor is worried that the Denglai rebellion will get out of control, and wants to put it out as soon as possible. The purpose is good, but he is a little impatient. As Commander Yang said, troops will be mobilized from Guanning to Shandong , it will take more than a month at the fastest, and during this time, our army can definitely decide the outcome with Jiannu! The old man implores Mr. Xiong to go back and report to the emperor, and put aside the Denglai battle first, and concentrate on Let's break the siege of the Daling River with all our strength!"

This time, Xiong Mingyu didn't give him any face at all. He stood up and said in a harsh tone: "Master Shufu, you said that you can win with Jiannu in more than a month. This official believes it, and he just won. Which side is it, I'm afraid Master Shufu knows it well? The city of Daling River is a tomb that can't be filled. It has already swallowed [-] to [-] elite soldiers of our army. How many elite soldiers can be filled in by Daming!"

Qiu Hejia was about to speak, but Xiong Mingyu said decisively: "Don't talk too much, the Tianxiong and Wuyang armies will set out immediately and go south to Shandong to suppress the rebellion!"

Yang Menglong shouted: "The Tianxiong army has gone to reinforce Dalinghe City! They are fighting fiercely with Jiannu!"

Xiong Mingyu said: "The Wuyang army will go south immediately, there must be no mistakes!"

Yang Menglong was dumbfounded: "What about the Xiongjun that day? What about the besieged Guanning Army?"

Xiong Mingyu said irritably: "Send sentry cavalry over there to make them retreat, as much as they can retreat, the Sichuan army will not go out!"

Yang Menglong yelled: "Withdraw your uncle? More than 1 people went to reinforce, I'm afraid they are already surrounded by Jiannu, you can teach me how to withdraw! In the Battle of Changshan, Jiannu already suffered heavy casualties, Guan Ning The four elite troops of Tianxiong, Wuyang, and Sichuan Army attack with all their strength. Even if they can't hit them hard, they can break the siege of the Daling River. Idiots can see this, but you still want to procrastinate until Jiannu is out of breath. I didn’t make a decision when I was overwhelmed, and now I just sent troops to the south when the Tianxiong army was fighting fiercely with Jiannu, trying to kill those 3000 elite soldiers and thousands of civilian husbands? Where are you from!?”

As soon as this boy's lion roar came out, the audience was shocked. Everyone looked at Yang Menglong stupidly, as if they were looking at a lunatic.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, has any armed force dared to point a civil servant's nose and curse?And this civil servant is still the Minister of the Ministry of War!

Xiong Mingyu was also scolded for being stupid. His face first turned from jet black to pale, then from pale to livid, and finally turned purple. He raised his arm tremblingly and pointed at Yang Menglong, his lips and fingers trembling violently: " Shu... Shuzi is disrespectful and lawless! Someone, take this rebellious man down for me, push him out and chop him up!"

Qiu Hejia screamed that it was not good, and he couldn't care less about his demeanor. He stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Master Xiong, calm down! Commander Yang is young and ignorant, and he only wants to kill the enemy and serve the country. He got a little impatient and said some stupid things. Don't argue with him! Shout to Yang Menglong: "Commander Yang, why don't you hurry up and plead guilty to Mr. Xiong! "

Yang Menglong poked his neck and said: "I'm right, it's their foolish bastards who are wrong! This is not how wars are fought, they are simply directing blindly. With these stupid pigs around, it is simply impossible for us to not win the battle." Dreaming!" He stared at Xiong Mingyu, and said word by word: "Even if we want to transfer troops to the south, we have to wait until we take over the Tianxiong Army and the Guan Ning Army and withdraw to Jinzhou City! That's more than 1 lives, isn't it? You can throw it away!"

What he said later, Xiong Mingyu couldn't hear clearly, because our Master Xiong was about to make him explode, so he pulled out Shangfang's sword with a choke, pointed at Yang Menglong, and shouted sharply: "I am going to kill you!" You madman!"

Yang Menglong moved faster, and pulled out the dog-leg knife with a whoosh: "You want to kill me? You'd better practice for a few years first, otherwise you must be the one who dies!"

Reverse, reverse!
Not to mention Xiong Mingyu, even Sun Chengzong and Qiu Hejia were dumbfounded.This kid is too courageous, it's fine if he doesn't take the Minister of War seriously, and he doesn't even care about Shang Fang's sword!What is Shangfang Sword?The sword bestowed by the emperor to the ministers, something as sacred as the imperial decree!Shangfang sword has many uses. It can be used to kill disobedient generals. For example, Yuan Chonghuan, after inviting Shangfangbao, is as reckless as Mao Wenlong, and obediently stretches his neck to lead him to death; it can also be used to kill cattle, such as Yang Hao, Sa Before the Battle of Erhu began, the order was to kill the cow to sacrifice to heaven, but the Ming army stabbed three knives but failed to kill the cow. Yang Gao was angry and pulled out Shangfang's sword for others to use. Sure enough, one sword killed the cow. He was stabbed to death... A minister of the Ministry of War wielded a Shangfang sword that could kill both generals and cattle. He wanted to kill a small guard commander. It's so good to be killed!But Yang Menglong obviously didn't have such self-awareness, his first reaction was to draw out the dog-leg knife to slash at Xiong Mingyu, without even realizing that his behavior was tantamount to rebellion...
